CDT Student Kai Yuan receives Rising Star Award

Kai Yuan, PhD student in the 2017 cohort, has received a Rising Star Award from the UK-RAS network. This award was one of four awards made, and it recognises excellence and achievement by the UK robotics and autonomous systems community during the past challenging year. 

Following an open nomination process, the winners were selected by an expert panel from the UK-RAS network's Executive Committee. After receiving their awards, the winners gave an overview presentation to the UK-RAS Robotics Summer Showcase attendees.

2021 Cohort training - Responsible Research and Innovation Plenary 2

Date: 
Wed, 10/11/2021 - 14:00 to 16:00
Location: 
Robotarium Seminar Room, Earl Mountbatten Building, Heriot-Watt University
Speaker: 
ORBIT

This course will introduce the basic principles of RRI, the AREA 4P Framework and its application to research projects. Participants will then be encouraged to apply the framework to assigned case studies to identify possible issues and actions to resolve them. Their cases and suggestions will be discussed in the group, affording the opportunity to receive 360-degree feedback on the work.
